Nuclear Blast Records press release

Legendary Swedish viking/death oufit Unleashed just announced the tracklist and the artwork of the upcoming album Odalheim.

With Odalheim Unleashed not only present the successor of As Yggdrasil Trembles in the year 2012, but also continue telling their post-doomsday story, of course embedded into the Norse mythology. After the mighty world tree Yggdrasil had trembled and rung in the end of the world, Fimbul winter followed: Three years of darkness and coldness, during which Mother Nature took back what was rightfully hers. This caused the end of life as we know it. Ragnarök. But the warriors who've survived will build a new world out of the old one's ashes. Right here, the story of Odalheim begins.

With Odalheim, the Swedes release their eleventh studio album. Once more, the mighty line up consisting of Johnny (bass & vocals), Fredrik (lead guitar), Tomas (rhythm guitar) and Anders (drums) has created a multifarious and hymnal album in typical Unleashed manner.

Johnny commented the artwork: "The artwork is made by Sebastian Ramstedt, just like our previous 4 albums. It shows the new world Odalheim, at the break of dawn at Birka shores, and just before the attack of White Christ. The concept of the album is taken from the book by the same name. A book I haven't yet had the time to complete."

Odalheim was produced by Fredrik Folkare and recorded in the Swedish Chrome Studios.

Odalheim tracklist:

01. Fimbulwinter
02. Odalheim
03. White Christ
04. The Hour Of Defeat
05. Gathering The Battalions
06. Vinland
07. Rise Of The Maya Warriors
08. By Celtic And British Shores
09. The Soil Of Our Fathers
10. Germania
11. The Great Battle Of Odalheim

Odalheim will be released on April 20, 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

Swedish death metallers Unleashed just checked in from the Chrome Studios in Sweden where they have finished the recordings of their 11th full-length album, which is set for a spring 2012 release via Nuclear Blast Records. The production will be handled by guitarist Fredrik Folkare at his Chrome Studios in Sweden.

Johnny Hedlund (bass/vocals) commented: "We are now ready with most of the recording, final vocals were done last week and we are very satisfied so far. We will now spend some real time on mixing this and creating a crushing sound. Anders just asked me if this might be the fastest Unleashed album to date. I'm not sure but it's likely close anyhow."

Nuclear Blast Records press release

Nuclear Blast proudly announces the signing of Unleashed! The legendary Swedish Viking Death Metal has several classic albums like "Across The Open Sea" already to their credit and is the perfect example for mixing melody and aggression: their riffs are pure shrapnel, but their choruses are epic, melting uncompromising brutality with anthemic odes to the Odin.

A statement from the band: "Unleashed marks their 20th Anniversary by proudly announcing their signing to Nuclear Blast records. Johnny and the Boys eagerly anticipate their partnership in this new era of Viking Death Metal."

Their Nuclear Blast album debut is set for a 2010 release.

The following announcement has been psoted on the official Uleashed website:

"Sadly....and just like with a few other tours before ours..... The tour promoter Metallysee fucked up again...!!!
It is with anger in our hearts we have to announce that the european tour has been cancelled for reasons completely beyond our control. Ourselves and our brothers in Belphegor tried in a combined effort to make this tour happen until the very last minute, but in the end there was nothing we could do.

HOWEVER, thanks to the local promoter in Ireland the shows in Dublin and Cork this weekend will happen as planned!
We will also do the headline festivals in Germany:
The Deathcrush fest in Adelsheim on the 26th of May and Hellraizer fest on the 27th in Leipzig.

We are of course extremely disappointed but will not let this bring us down!
We will spend no extra energy on slandering Metallysee, it is far too obvious that this company is not worth mentioning ever again.

Unleashed will reschedule the European tour to later this year, most likely in the autumn."

Metallysee was also responsible for the cancellation of the remaining of the Earthshaker Roadshock Tour (News Story) and the Excess Of Evil tour (News Story).
